I used mid weight interfacing on the pieces that you see on the outside, as well as a layer of fusible fleece behind that. There's a layer of fusible fleece on the lining as well- it was a lot of cutting and ironing, but worth it for the bag that will stand up on its own The pocked pieces are just interfaced (except the bottle pockets, those are "fusible fleeced" so that the bottles will stay their temperature) and sewn together. It's a strange mix but it seems to work

Awesome! You guys picked out some super fabric too - so fun!!That is going to be (or was?) a huge hit at the shower!Did you remember to put the Anti Monkey Butt powder and the Dr. Boudreaux's Butt paste in it?

Hehe, I put a lot of the gifts inside the bag, and the ones that wouldn't fit went into a bigger gift bag. Everyone loved it! We haven't actually started using them yet, but I hope when we do that they're as useful as they are pretty!

Since my girls actually nap (knock on wood), I am going to start trying to work off my negative feedback. Life got hectic with their early arrival. I apologize for the inconveniences my flaking caused.
